Read about one teenager's space dream.Then complete the chart.
My Space Dream
My space dream is that one day a research station will be built on the moon.I believe there are quite a few benefits.
First,it will be a good place for scientists to cooperate and do space research together.New technologies can be developed,tested,and operated there.These technologies can then be used to help build stations on Mars and other planets.
Second,more resources will be found.I think the moon may have some special kind of energy resource that can be useful to Earth.It will just take time for scientists to find it.
Third,people may live and work there.Tourists will also be able to visit.I want to be one of the first visitors.I hope that one day we humans can spend holidays in space and explore the universe.
Humans have achieved many things that were once only dreams.
I hope the research station on the moon will be built in the near future,and I hope it will happen during my lifetime.

Discuss the ideas about space.Which interests you the most and why
build a research station on the moon
send a spacecraft to the nearest star system
search for life in the solar system
build a satellite to collect the sun's energy and send it to Earth
We’ve read about a teenager’s dream of building a research station on the moon. Now, what other ideas about space do you know
Work in groups of four. Each group chooses a topic its members are most interested in and discusses it.
The following expressions may help you:
I’m most interested in ______ because ______.
First, ______. Second, ______.
Sample1
I’m most interested in building a research station on the moon because it can help us learn more about space.
First, scientists can do experiments there and develop new technologies for space travel.
Second, it may help us find new resources on the moon, which is good for life on Earth.
Sample2
I’m most interested in sending a spacecraft to the nearest star system because it sounds like a great adventure.
First, it can let us know if there are other planets like Earth out there.
Second, it can encourage technological progress and take us further into space.
Sample3
I’m most interested in searching for life in the solar system because I’ve always wondered if there is alien life.
First, finding life on other planets would change how we think about the universe.
Second, it can help us learn more about how life started on Earth.
Sample4
I’m most interested in building a satellite to collect the sun's energy and send it to Earth because it can help solve our energy problems.
First, solar energy is clean and won’t pollute the environment.
Second, it can give us enough energy even when Earth’s natural resources run out.
3c
Write your own space dream. You can include some pictures in your writing.
What was the teenager’s space dream in 3a
What three benefits did the writer mention
Opinion: My space dream is that...
Reasons: First/Second/Third + specific reasons
Future outlook: I hope this dream will come true...
The writer’s dream is that a research station will be built on the moon.
1. Do research and develop new technologies. 2. Find new energy resources.
3. Live, work and take holidays there.
Today, we’ll use the same structure to write about our own space dreams.
Now please write your own space dream in 80 words. Follow the three parts: opinion, reasons, and future outlook. Use the linking words First/Second/Third. You can include a picture if you like. You have 7 minutes. Start writing!
My Space Dream
My space dream is that a space hotel will be built on the moon one day.
First, it will be a great place for space tourists to experience life in space. People can enjoy views of Earth from the moon. Second, scientists can use it to do research on the moon. Third, it will help us learn more about space and inspire more people to love science.
I hope this dream will come true during my lifetime.

My Ideal Lunar Base
My ideal lunar base is a research station where scientists can work and live. It will be built on the moon one day.
First, it will be a great place for scientists to do space research and develop new technologies. They can study the moon’s rocks and test new ways to build space stations on other planets. Second, special energy resources may be found there to help solve Earth’s energy problems. Third, it will also be a place for space tourists to visit. People can watch the Earth rise from the moon and learn more about the universe.
I believe this dream will come true in the future. With hard work, humans will make our lunar base a real home beyond Earth.
